Precautions
# WARNINGS
Ñ To prevent injury or fire, take
the following precautions:
• To prevent a short circuit, never put or leave
any metallic objects (such as coins or metallic
tools) inside the unit.
• Do not watch or fix your eyes on the unit’s
display when you are driving for any extended
period.
• If you experience problems during installation,
consult your KENWOOD dealer.
Ñ Precautions on using this unit
• When you purchase optional accessories,
check with your KENWOOD dealer to make
sure that they work with your model and in
your area.
• You can select a language to display menus,
audio file tags, etc. See System Setup
(P. 65).
• The Radio Broadcast Data System feature
won’t work in areas where the service is not
supported by any broadcasting station.
Ñ Protecting the monitor
• To protect the monitor from damage, do not
operate the monitor using a ball point pen or
similar tool with a sharp tip.
Ñ Cleaning the unit
• If the faceplate of this unit is stained, wipe it
with a dry soft cloth such as a silicon cloth.
If the faceplate is stained badly, wipe it with
a cloth moistened with neutral cleaner, then
wipe it again with a clean soft dry cloth.
NOTE
• Applying spray cleaner directly to the unit
may damage its mechanical parts. Wiping the
faceplate with a hard cloth or using a volatile
liquid such as thinner or alcohol may scratch the
surface or erase the screened print.
Ñ Acquiring GPS signal
The first time you turn on this unit, you must
wait while the system acquires satellite signals
for the first time. This process could take up
to several minutes. Make sure your vehicle
is outdoors in an open area away from tall
buildings and trees for fastest acquisition.
After the system acquires satellites for the first
time, it will acquire satellites quickly each time
thereafter.
Ñ About GLONASS
This unit uses Global Navigation Satellite System
(GLONASS) in addition to GPS.
Combining GPS and GLONASS can refine
positioning accuracy than using GPS only.
Ñ Caution for Smartphone Users
Simultaneously running multiple applications
on your smartphone while screen sharing places
heavy demand on the microprocessor of the
phone, potentially affecting communication and
performance.
For best results while pairing with your
KENWOOD receiver, please be sure to close any
unused applications.
How to read this manual
